MB FOOD FEST
Showcasing Made in Manitoba Food & Beverage Products
We bring together Manitoba’s favourite local food and beverages at the annual MB Food Fest.
Our Mission:
MB Food Fest hopes to capture the attention of those that understand the importance of supporting our local makers, along with supporting the existing and new food & beverage products being developed within our province. This ticketed sampling event will celebrate and showcase participating Manitoba makers and their products.
